To be team funny saunders and this weeks round of primaries. Good morning from moscow at 7 11 am here on it the weekly well we talk about the top stories of the law. Well one no one can escape the effects of coronavirus are proving increasingly inescapable one way or another among the latest developments donald trump has tested negative for the case at 19 after he met a brazilian official who later turned out to have the infection. Last night after an indepth discussion with the president regarding corbett 19 testing he elected to proceed this evening i received confirmation that the test is negative. Ira seemingly hasnt got into the white house but its having a devastating effect on the lives of the 156000. 00 plus who are known to be infected with the consequences rippling through jobs businesses and with schools of events canceled as people are told to stay home reporting next on the situation his ego donald. Fear is growing fear is that someone discovered an actual jumanji aboard the real world in an almost biblical like game of pandemonium. In. Europe and locusts are actually swarming the middle east and africa as youre watching this but one crisis is of course overshadowing all others the coronavirus and the World Health Organization is confirming our worst fears in the plants 2 weeks the number of cases of course viewed 90 you know to. Include is certain to unfold. And the number of affected countries has tripled we have that for many of the our system and that quoted 19 can be kind of. A pandemic its been a nightmarish shock week for stocks to the worst plunge in decades wiped trillions of dollars from the market for the average american it meant the crisis lifted more than 20000. 00 out of each citizen spock it also fueling the quick sell off season Donald Trumps announcement that all european holidaying plans are to be cancelled to keep new cases from entering her sures we will be suspending all travel from europe to the United States for the next 30 days the u. K. Being one of the few countries to evade the initial ban was perhaps some very sad irony when london publicly and apparently gave up on all efforts to contain the disease eventually Vice President mike pence thought better and added the country on the banned list too but americas major indices. Hes kept reeling as if it were the stocks themselves that had caught covered 19 shaken with fever even the federal reserves absolutely massive cash lifeline utterly failed to pay to the markets black as trump struggled with a response this is not a financial crisis this is just a temporary moment of time that we will overcome together as a nation and as a world meanwhile europe officially took up the torch from china as the new epicenter of the pandemic even big jean offered its condolences and as cities and all nations went on lockdown reactions have been mixed from ransacked supermarkets to prison riots to some making the best of the situation. Globally almost all major sporting events have been either canceled or postponed leagues championships and public gatherings are all on the banned list so until this jumanji board is cleared of what lessons can we learn well be bald be careful. And wash your hands. You had to wash your hands plus with anxiety spreading just as rapidly the creative virus is providing opportunities for the unscrupulous solid to penske reports from power. With panic in no short supply virus here in front some enterprising individuals well shysters to be more precise have been concocting a variety of scams to make a quick buck now were all well aware that the 1st line of defense against the virus is told watch on her hands when youre out in the pouch touching everything from. 100 to picking up things in shops its a bit difficult to run into a both room to scrub. Every time well thank goodness of course those little travel sized bottles of Hand Sanitizer to fight those nasty germs and that is of course if you can still find eddie the phones dont stop ringing this morning we have the schools the town hall the Public Transport Company everybody wants gel we are under siege with demand far outstripping supply the cost of hand gel exponentially increased the problem was considered serious the french government stepped in to you that today when you take the degree regulating the prices of hydrocodone it jelled another precaution for many is to do on a face mask a tiny bit of cloth covering your mouth and know is this season must have it seems the face mask took over Paris Fashion Week so if you have the money instead of paying a couple of euros for one you can spend thousands if you like except that the type of mask available over the counter or even from a renowned fashion house is pretty useless against the virus thats at least according to the french government which at the same time is requisitioned all stocks and production over masks for the next few months reserving them for Health Workers and those who are infected but. The scammers have a new ploy france has you probably know a world famous ban on fully covering your face in public thats mainly aimed at conservative muslim women but some tricksters have twisted it to their advantage dressing as Police Officers theyve been told getting chinese visitors to paris who were wearing face masks telling them that they had broken the law and had to pay an on the spot following these students were 1st to pay a 150 euros and find spoke policeman for having broken the law that bans complete Face Covering in public spaces Police Investigation found the dees police were pretending to be Police Wearing a mask for Health Reasons is absolutely not illegal. There are trying to pick on the weak and the elderly in the district around bordeaux there are reports of people selling door to door Decontamination Services for a snip at 1500 euros these con artists use a pressure washer to do a little bit of cleaning thats not all theyre up to this type of canvassing allows these crooks to enter your home check the presence of valuable objects so the presence of an alarm system will perform if they have the opportunity a robbery by trick the majority of the victims of robbery or elderly who are physically weaker tell your loved ones to take precautions and the scams it seems gaining momentum the French National consumer and fraud office says its received thousands of reports of dog dealings were talking everything from magical lumps with disinfecting properties to anti virus purifiers the simple and most effective method to stay virus free is something that we should all been doing anyway and that is thoroughly washing our hands with soap and water its that simple. Remember to kiss well look physically as weve been told want to be is a search but the acronym keep it simple stupid and dont get Cold Shoulder you can ski r. T. Paris meanwhile some areas face unique difficulties for example the small greek island of last boss recorded its 1st infection a few days ago but its also struggling to house more than 20000 refugees in a crowded camp where conditions are often dire evangelists it says has been hearing neither does concerns about coping with this new Health Crisis. Im standing here in front of the laurier refugee camp in the listless reese were about 20000 refugees are held in an area that was initially built for 2000 people from the area its not the best when it comes to fighting in the conditions are not the ideal for People Living in such a small area but now when the spread of coronavirus around the world a lot of the people are concerned he went around and spoke to the locals to see what they had to say about a fear of a virus like that spreading among the camp. If it gets like italy will be doomed because the island only has one hospital it is good if they manage to isolate one or 2 of those infected with corona virus one of the feel and lead the infection spread further you can imagine what will happen but with him of them ago there will be many issues and they will be big the virus is likely to spread very fast it will merely be maria thats affected but also mightily the whole island of lesbos will be in trouble i have family on the island and of course im afraid here we have our homes our jobs they say many bad things about us but its us who are dealing with this issue but as the locals are raising concern about such a big leap virus on the island and jewels are ensuring that nothing of those cases have been confirmed here at the morea camp but as we went around and we spoke to refugees who are living in the scalp for many many years now they have a different opinion displaced slaves but at least. A lot of people here now i dont know we saw somebody told me yesterday that 2 people have its yes men and good men. And im sick but theyre not even treating me nobodys paying any attention on the virus whos already here even if you are in the hospital it does not help much because you cannot be cured you know i sleep in a container with other people. See. Bankers are warning of the world to brace for an economic shock the head of the European Central bank says leaders need to act urgently to contain the spread of infections Global Stock Markets have suffered rockwood fools in recent days crude Oil Prices Also took their sharpest weekly dive since the 2008 financial crisis as supplies far outstrip drying demand it wasnt just down to the Health Crisis though the price will broke out which source saudi arabia diggin of to Oil Producing nations failed to Reach Agreement on cutting production next up morag looks at the possible consequences. 2020 will go down in history is the year where everything that could do wrong went wrong subject that has dominated the news all week. Hard to grow the virus spreading fears grow of a Global Pandemic a huge spike in cases where the price is down more than 22 percent earlier today the biggest loss since the launch of the gulf war the saudis have launched and oil price markets are getting punched in the face a decent bottle of wine is now more expensive than a barrel of oil which as a consumer you might think isnt too bad i mean cheaper fuel truck seems to think its good. Good for the consumer gasoline prices coming down so heres my question whats the point of cheap fuel when you cant drive or fly anywhere because of an epidemic because of core unseen al lines are clearly not going to stock up on kerosene all sorts of derivatives fuel derivatives will experience less demand as traveling goes down that is going to be one of the factors that will likely keep b. Or cries depressed now you are starting to get by we the whole world is facing catastrophe it isnt just one problem its many and they feed each other they multiply each other 1st the airline suffer fuels cheap but no ones flying anywhere no one travels tourism collapses meaning millions of people lose income if millions stop making money they stop buying stuff so the factories shut down meaning more people lose jobs and so on of course we have the impact of prices which is made by the corona virus spreading around europe italy we have just seen it and then of course the. Situation with oil which is a bit complicated and so far ive never seen anything like this we backed it on the market being even more pressure to it and we have seen what the outcome is now will we get to the crux of it think a little trip back to 2008 he is a graph showing the u. S. Debt market in 20082 trillion it collapsed because bankers high on greed gave out loons to people to buy houses that they couldnt afford we hoped at least that they had learned their lesson. Watch what they did next since then theyve loaned out 3 and a half times as much the us Channel Industries then now selling oil cheaper than it costs them to produce the adelines with no passengers the hotels with no guests the businesses with no clients in 2008 the worlds economy collapsed because a bunch of people missed the house payments now entire industries are on the verge of fooling like dominoes we have had the 1st worst drop in Oil Price Since the early nineties and the stock market probably everywhere even in the dow jones and greedy force a good the worst one day drop ever theres no point in panicking the government still have tools to delay a meltdown tax cuts that belief but the loonie work for a while and after that well theyll be no point in padding because it will be too late. The cave in effect means itll be an audience free us t. V. Election debate on sunday night when the democratic hopefuls joe biden ambani saunders go one on one we look at how the party seems to have already made up its mind after this break. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy on sunday shouldnt let it be an arms race in this on all fronts very dramatic developments only engage in disease i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and tom. Welcome back to the u. S. Election to States Office putting the president ial primaries over Health Concerns george henris out of will now have to wait a foot the 2 months to go to the polls sunday night will go see the fast one on one debate for the 2 bad vying for the Democratic Partys nomination the kind of good 19 pandemic means itll be a pretty small gathering though theyll be no Live Audience watching joe biden and saunders slug it out one of the moderators has also dropped out over Health Concerns and the events in relocated nonetheless former Vice President biden is on a roll off to clinching big wins in tuesdays primaries all those who have been knocked down all those have been counted lets be frank this is your campaign. Just over a week ago many of the pundits declared that this can. Now were very much in line. Biden won in mississippi missouri idaho and michigan a delegate rich state which rival Bernie Sanders picked up back in 2016000 had to buy to being presented by some media as the candidate best place to beat donald trump this. But as caleb moore can no explains the Democratic Party establishment seems to have already made up its mind thats despite a growing number of biden gaffes. The race for the democratic nomination is down to 2 horses and its pretty clear where the bets are going there on joe biden the good guy its time for us to beat donald trump and it became very clear to me joe biden is the right person to do that hes the nicest person that we cover but he is just a good guy and why not have a good guy in the white house after all for the past 3 years the media has been working very hard to convince everyone that pure evil has overtaken the u. S. Presidency but it doesnt take very deep digging to discover that you can rub off joe bidens good guy shine take a look at how he insulted Detroit Assembly plant worker who questioned his views on gun rights. He also has hinted that he believes that race and intellectual ability are somehow connected to your kids you just as brady just as towns white kids on top of that he is known to just make things up and say things on the fly that have absolutely no connection to reality we choose unity over division we choose science over fiction we choose truth over facts and a lot of ways joe biden sounds an awful lot like donald trump lets see if americans can tell them apart i bet youre as bright as you are good looking. Thats actually joe biden surprise we choose truth over facts. I was actually joe biden also poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids by the way without actually biden and youre a lying dog faced pony soldier. So its got to be true and actually biden also the narrative is supposed to be that donald trump is a big mean bully and joe biden is a lovable adorable grandpa with good intentions and hes supposed to be way better than that wild eyed radical Bernie Sanders except dont you remember how recently everyone was bashing joe biden i just think by. His declining i dont think he has the energy and he has been a skilled debater we saw him with sarah palin weve seen him in the past the question is does he still have his job and destroy native and is he how sure are busy can you imagine that man in a president ial did buy with donald trump theres not enough popcorn in the world just curious how subtly biden inserts obama into every possible answer having significant mental faculties issues is everyone ok with biden being president of the United States when hes having difficulty remembering the name of you know politicians that hed be dealing with on a regular basis but now we are told that opposition to joe biden is a russian plot the kremlins english language media aim to influence americans on the home tough activity promotes conspiracy theories targeting biden while lauding trumps efforts to investigate his eating political opponent predicted to trump will win a 2nd term claimed that biden is called to be unraveling on some eyes that allegations of corruption are doing real damage to his president ial bid now the race is getting heated as the field has narrowed so the question is now will joe biden be able to keep that good guy image when its time to start taking shots at Bernie Sanders. R. T. New york. Its been revealed that schools of south African Women were sterilized in state hospitals without back sad while we spoke to one of the victims who only discovered how you trust have been removed when she tried to get pregnant 11 years later. Burstall of the baby was too big and they had to perform i am a c. Section i remember when i walked out i asked them why they have reached by mitch or my family then they explain the baby was too big and they include nice 16 a good engaged after trying for about 4 to 5 months. Without me being able to conceive with any thought.

Im not positive all our high. Offices theyre quite aware of this and ill say this in camera they are quite aware of the practice and you know doing anything new i mean is being held accountable it seems like our doctors of the law i didnt say in any paper and i couldnt have signed it because at that time i was a minor and my mom who was still with me all the time also didnt claim any consent form no woman deserves to go through what i am going through and why 2 are all going through is literally listeria lives i do not want my daughter to be singing the same song that im singing today because its time bearable with the pain that comes with this its a very its unbearable and most of all rights. To my rights as a human being were very late and my regret is a woman and ted my reproduction right were taken away from me and no woman ever in south africa should go through what we are going through. A final for this hour on friday a u. S. Federal judge ordered the release of Army WhistleblowerChelsea Manning from jail warning that her detention no longer serves any purpose manning had attempted to kill herself on wednesday mannings appearance before the grand jury is no longer needed in light of which are detention no longer serves any course of purpose the court further finds that enforcement of the accrued conditional fines would not be punitive but rather necessary to the course of purpose of the courts civil contempt order manning has been a presence of many for refusing to testify against wiki leaks before a grand jury lawyer not diverse kevin zeese describes the Legal Process used against manning is fundamentally on. Well this whole case is an injustice and a violation of her basic human rights the secret grand jury system in the United States is very unfair it only allows the prosecutor in the room with the jurors no defense lawyer no defendant only hear one side of the story thats what manning is protesting so i know her and shes a very strong person but obviously its a lot of pressure but i think shes more likely go out of that jail dead than testifying she is not going to change your opinion shes made that clear and thats why this friday the judge should end this injustice and release or this is a violation of u. S. Law a violation of International Law and these to come to an end really signals where the trouble is going when it comes to julian a songe and wiki leaks they already have an indictment against Julian Assange they are not supposed to use the grand jury for the purpose of gathering evidence to prove that indictment but it shows to me that the government is not very confident about the evidence they have or about that indictment they want more. For this hour ill be back and thats minutes of mall to tide you over until that we delve into what a product up quite as agreements they say they are threatening up next.
